I love these medium sized figures.

I hope we can get a Wilson and Doyle in this price range
I second this. :)

And I also wouldn't mind seeing the Ceratosaurus turn up in this new line too,just as the megalodon shark and Spinops did. :)

Don't you hate it when you legitimately compliment someone's mustache and she gets angry with you?

I love them too. They are also close to 1:35 scale, or slightly bigger, and so were Wilson and Doyle. They could all be displayed together in harmony.
The new Spinops looks just amazing. In my opinion, the details on it shown in official photo is the best so far in PNSO's products. Despite of the lower price, it might be better than Doyle.

For me, the big version of PNSO for me is impossible to buy for space and economic reasons. I could make PNSO a ceratosaurus of the same size as the standard medium / small size version. For 20 or 21 euros it would be more affordable and takes less space on the shelves and is not hollow vinyl. Totally agree. Not all of us have the purchasing power of a considerable part of forum members. A popular line by PNSO has been a great idea.

Scraping off the black paint on Sede's eyes by a piece of my finger nail, painted them gold.
Now it looks really nice for me, especially with the pretty low price.
Looking forward to the new Spinops!

The prices are cheaper here in China, but medium size version still makes me very happy. Sede is of almost the same quality as Wilson or Doyle. The most obvious differences are the missing base and softer material, which I don't mind that much. Actually I think the figures from PNSO are getting better and better.

PNSO is dissapointing me with those sizes :( For that we have other brands.

I haven't bought any PNSO before their recent minis and now a few of these medium sized figures. Are the figures in the standard museum line really huge compared to these? I saw somebody else mention that the Museum line is 1:35. By my calculation all of these recent "medium" figures are also 1:35 (except the Ankylosaurus, which seems more like 1:30 or so?), just featuring smaller species. Which seems like a good thing, having both lines to the same scale.

Very nice photos of the Ankylosaurus.  The gold eye looks good too.

The museum line figures claim to be 1:35 but I'd guess most are closer to 1:30 scale with the exception of the Mamenchisaurus which seems 1:40 or less. The museum line is made up of mostly large Theropods, Sauropods and a Triceratops. The medium sized figures have some the scale up with them well and some that don't. The Stegosaurus in particular is a smaller size. Also none of the medium sized figures come with bases or articulated jaws.

It's too bad they're not sticking with a consistent scale. I ordered the Stegosaurus but haven't gotten it yet... it's listed as 7" on Amazon, which is 1:35 scale (Stegosaurus stenops =6-7m in length).

Nimravus

I have already ordered both of them, plus the Ankylosaurus, so the three of them are on their way! I am happy they are releasing these models, without a reduced quality but more affordable, and smaller (~1\35). I loved the first ones they produced, such as the Huanghetitan, Lufengosaurus, Euhelopus, Mandschurosaurus, Shantungosaurus, or the new ones such as the Ceratosaurus, but they are too big for my place, I would love to see a Ceratosaurus scaled down to 1/35! ::)
PNSO has reborn amazingly,  and they are releasing models no one expected! ;D
I received yesterday the Diorama with the Yangchuanosaurus and Chungqinggosaurus, and it is beautiful. The latter is much better than expected.

You're right, but especially since "Jurassic Park" many people (even the scientifically orientated ones) have been talking about Stegosaurus stenops being 9 m long or even more.
Different Dinosaur pages show different sizes. It's confusing for beginners. I decided to stay away from all those pages. I'm only using books by Donald Glut and Greg Paul for Dinosaur facts about anatomy and size. (Taxonomy of course is another thing ;D)



Shonisaurus

Perhaps the PNSO spinops is not very large but it is affordable and very well modeled and most importantly focusing on the PNSO brand in scientific models and very well modeled. PNSO is becoming my favorite company. I hope that one day they will make a ceratosaurus that can supply the lack of the great giant PNSO ceratosaurus of vinyl whose costs and space I can not afford.

I like this popular line are neither very large nor very small in size.

Being a definite PNSO convert these days I will be placing orders for both (just ordered the Stegosaurus yesterday after finding a great price on Ali  from a seller I have used often), and I really like that Spinops. Another very naturalistic / realistic sculpt from PNSO.


do you have a link to the ali-express seller? I was going to buy them from Amazon.

Ha, true - the JP stegosaurus might as well be mid-sized short-necked sauropods!

And PhilSauria, thanks for the link to the Ali seller. That makes me feel better; I ordered a Eurhinosaurus from this seller the other day because it was cheapest, but I was a little worried it was TOO cheap..

I have placed quite a few orders over the last two years with this seller and have always found them quick, efficient and very helpful - and they have the best prices, often with discount coupons too so keep an eye out for those. And no, I am not on commission!

Should call these new figures the Goldilocks range. Not too big or too small but just right.
